[AusNOG] Current river level

Wed Jan 12 20:32:21 EST 2011

Hi guys,

My 7:30pm update - whiles the waters haven't risen above Charlotte St
yet they haven't seemed to abate any either. I think Dc1/2/3/4 and
Wickham are going to be OK. Power is out from Charlotte St down to the
waterfront, however above this power is still on. Its getting pretty
surreal now looking at what has been going on today - imagine shipping
containers, 40 foot boats, bottles, animals, and who knows what floating
down a river......

I'll be in the CBD until Saturday so if anyone has any *reasonable*  :-)
requests I'll do what I can to help. And if anyone needs emergency DC
space or power give me a yell.

Jas

Looks like 344 Queen St is about to go dark. Energex about to throw the
switch.

	Hi All,

	Further to this a quick update on 127 Creek St - DC1/2. It is
highly unlikely that water will hit the top end of Creek St and the
SES/Emergency Services apparently are co-ordinating operations out of
this site so we have been told it is next to the last building in the
City that they will let go dark. I am around the city today/tomorrow so
will update you all if any of the major DCs are likely to be impacted,
however at this stage DC1/2/3/4 and 100 Wickham are all looking pretty
good.

	The main issue obviously is if there is water ingress regardless
of the gens the lights will go out because the distribution boards will
all sizzle anyway. If anyone has any specific sites/queries happy to
give updates reasonably where I can when I am out and about.

	Jas

	Just an update - the river gauge is now over 3.7m and predicted
to rise to 4.5 by 3pm. I'm going to take a wander down the river and
will let you know what I see.

	Sorry, my born and bred West coast brain is still telling me
that East 
	is inland even though I know Ippy and Toowoomba are West...but
anyway I 
	was thinking last night there's so much focus on the existing
known 
	flood spots, what about the next domino's to fall, better start 
	organising for those 'cause with so much already flooded and
more rain, 
	the water's gotta go somewhere...

	Thankfully it cant do any further harm once it passes through
Brisbane, though, I wouldn't be taking my boat out in the bay for a week
or three with all the debris that will end up out there. Northern NSW
should be spared much further flooding as well I think, as the rain
system that caused all this broke up into nothing last night, but, they
shouldn't be complacent just in case, who knows how much is still in
their catchments.

	BTW on my previous, Trains at this stage will continue to run,
buses only will be stopped
